That's a free ticket to knock them over. That might make me a tool, but physics is physics. So is the law of gross tonnage. I can't stop the walkway, so the path of least resistance is through the moron standing in the way. Pre-engagement warnings are useless because anyone
clueless enough to stand at the end of a walkway or foot of an escalator generally doesn't have enough brain cells to respond in a timely manner to a yelled warning. I do always remember to say "excuse me" post-contact.

Are you sure it was 1775? I'm not showing that flight as operating tonight. Only reason I ask is that 1775 is usually an E190, and typically major DBs wouldn't deign to fly the RJ.

Ooops, 1755. My bad. Oh, and the comment was "I guess the excuse is you were on a landline." In a snarky smart-ass tone when the controller asked to repeat.

Maybe flying the E190 is what exacerbated the douchy-ness.

It's a shame the controller didn't come back with "well as a matter of fact I was and you now have an EDCT of ____"

Anyone who posts on this or any anonymous on-line forum about what a gangsta/ladies man they are. You know who you are.

How about the people who try and force their way onto an elevator or subway car before the people trying to get off have a chance. They're just as bad.

My favourite are those east of china, west of the US with their selfie sticks, oblivious to the rest of the world wondering aimlessly without a care in the world careening off others walking in the opposite direction without so much as an "Excuse me".

The previous occupant of this hotel room who changed the time of the clock radio to the 24 hour clock.

Z time.

Probably on the lower level of toolishness. Toolish, nonetheless.
